ACICO Priorities Member's Responsibilities

The following priorities are identified as the current focus of ACICO activities. As outlined below, a number of participants at the conference volunteered to assist with the necessary activities.

This is by no means a complete list if your name isn't on it!

Please consider volunteering to help with one (or more) of the priorities. If these activities don't capture your imagination, the Board of Directors needs volunteers. Information on how to volunteer for the Board will be available on the Board of Directors' Page.

You can communicate your interest in volunteering for any aspect of these activities by e-mail. Click on the contact person's name or contact one of the identified volunteers by mail or fax. Please remember that the Association will only be as strong and effective as the volunteers who support it through these difficult and challenging times. To paraphrase . .

"Ask not what your Association can do for you . . . ask what you can do for your Association."

It was suggested that members who have ideas for advocacy or those who would like to help with the work should get in touch with someone on the above list or post their ideas/willingness on the Bulletin Board .

You are also strongly encouraged to use the bulletin board to post any ideas or comments you have about membership - or any other ACICO related matter. Checking the Bulletin Board regularly will ensure that you are up to date on any news. Be sure to "bookmark" the board and the home page so you can return to them easily.
